Trying To Idenify This Sheaffer White Dot -- Sheaffer Australia / Usa

[prime.lens]

I am wondering if someone could help me identify this sheaffer pen. It has a white dot, and the nib says Sheaffer Australia while the pen itself says made in USA. It has a really wonderful F/EF nib. Pics can be seen here.

 

Thanks for any help.

It looks like an Imperial III from the 1960's, but not quite. The earlier III's were Touchdown fillers, which this pen is not. And all versions had gold-filled clips, which I don't see in this photo. So perhaps a late model Imperial III with a replacement cap?

Thanks. Yes, it takes skrip cartridges. I had thought it was a Sheaffer student pen when I bought it, but it seems somewhat fancy for the school pen line.

Sheaffer also sold slightly upscale student pens under the Cartridge pen and also Skripsert moniker. The biggest difference IIRC was that they came in a box and not a blister pack.

Similar models have been discussed before, in this thread for example, but without a concrete answer.

If the pen in the above thread was a 444 slim, then your pen might be called a 440 slim.

 

If anyone has sheaffer catalogs showing these models, it will be nice to see.

Indeed 440 is correct for the finish, a label would simply have said "Sheaffer 440" if present. These are often called a late model Stylist and probably dates from the early '70's.

I was going to say "probably a Stylist", based on the length of the section. I believe the later offerings of that model didn't have the silly-looking clip that they began with. Having various nationalities represented confuses things a little.
